Here in America, a lot of those "special rooms" are not really separate
rooms, and are not well ventilated.  Also, if you are a non-smoker and like
to drink, most bar areas of restaurants are in the smoking portion, and the
"families" in the non-smoking area complain about the drinkers who try to
sit out with them.

Here in Kentucky, it is a very hot topic, as Kentucky is a large tobacco
producing state.  In some places in Kentucky, the "special room" is a
rather small one for NON-smokers, while the rest of the establishment is
for smokers, because there are so many.  However, Lexington has banned
smoking in restaurants and bars (I think) and some locak restaurants here in
Frankfort have done away with smoking areas.
